AI-Powered Algorithm Scoring Enhancement in Name Screening System (NSS)

Effective Date: Forthcoming
To: All NSS Customers and Partners
From: Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Algorithm Technology Leadership Team

Executive Summary: Enhancing Name Screening with Intelligent Algorithm Scoring

We are pleased to announce a significant enhancement to our Name Screening System (NSS) that introduces advanced AI-powered algorithm scoring. Building upon our industry-leading text similarity matching, this new feature provides more accurate match assessment to help your compliance teams focus on the most critical cases.

The Challenge: Moving Beyond Basic Similarity Matching

Traditional name screening generates numerous matches based primarily on textual similarity, requiring compliance teams to manually sift through results. This process can be inefficient in prioritizing the most important match cases.

Our Enhanced Solution: Intelligent Dual-Layer Assessment

Our enhanced NSS now implements a sophisticated two-tiered approach:

Tier 1: Advanced Similarity Matching
✓ Maintains our proven text similarity scoring

Tier 2: AI Algorithm Scoring
✓ Leverages advanced machine learning to generate more accurate match scores
✓ Enables professional match assessment beyond basic character matching
